BEQAEB extends 2026 BECE registration in Benue State

The Benue State Education Quality Assurance and Examinations Board, BEQAEB, has announced an extension of the 2026 Basic Education Certificate Examination, BECE, registration period.

Why the registration period was extended

BEQAEB said the extension will help candidates who are still outside the registration process complete their entries within the new window.

That gives schools and education stakeholders a fresh chance to act. For those who have delayed, this is the Time to move.
